I think we can all change our reviews to something positive now hmmm?

[KingBeezyB]

never flamed metacritic like others. I love the series too much even before the extended cut. Im going to play the trilogy and all future ME games for a long time!

[jtrook]

Let me get to my EC then I will think about it...but yeah they should get a few points for doing it

[Dusen]

Even if I had bothered to rate the game poorly in the first place the EC would do nothing to change that perception.

While I am grateful that Bioware went to the trouble of making it and releasing if for free, it still wasn't nearly good enough for me personally. There were still too many logical and plot inconsistancies throughout the game, especially the endings. Thankfully the gaping plot hole of our team mates on the Normandy was filled, although it was done in a very poor manner imo.

My judgement wouldn't increase much. Maybe an 7.5-8 instead of a 7-7.5.

[Dracotamer]

My judgement stays the same. It is still the same horrible plot whole mess of space magic.

[FlamingBoy]

nahh they still deserve that score

[DadeLeviathan]

They definitely deserve the 89 reviewer score, although the 4.5 (or whatever it is) user score is unfair, since a lot of it is just review bombing. With that, said, however, I wouldn't review ME3 (even with the EC) any higher than a 7.

This whole situation with ME3 should be a lesson that all writers should take to heart:

1. The way your ending is presented decides whether or not it's good.

2. A badly presented (or just plain bad) ending can destroy an otherwise good story.

Yeah but it's almost empty. Just 1 press review and 2 user votes:

DLCs never get much reviews (from press or users)

If I had an account on Metacritic i'd give it a positive rating

Either way its pretty petty for people to write a flame review anywhere.

So far the only space magic is anything based on Element Zero, which is a basis for Biotics.  Btw if you're really made about space magic then you would have to anger with the whole ME series instead of making ME3 into a meaningless martyr.

Yet From Dust got thrown under the bus based it being Day 1 DLC or thinking it cost $20 instead of $10.

Let's not. EC fixes some of the egregious problems with ending (e.g. you couldn't tell which side had won without Casey's twitter comments), but that's all it does - clarify. It doesn't change anything about the vast number of other issues - e.g. plotholes (now, apparently plotholes all the way down), Godchild. failure of suspension of disbelief (synthesis), etc.

Without EC, it is a badly written ending they couldn't even bother to complete. Now it's a badly written ending they did, technically, complete - and all the while, they kept insulting us by pretending that we wouldn't notice them not addressing our concerns, and then further insulting us by suggesting that this is an optional gesture of goodwill, rather than the absolute least they have to do.

And that's just the ending - why should I rate something positively when the very premise of the game breaks the series? Having the Reapers invade doesn't make any sense and undermines the series, but you just gotta have epic space battles (which completely ignore ME lore, but hey! SPACE BATTLES!)

NO.

[SerenityRebirth]

Fan reviews don't matter anyway. They are the most under developed and biased opinions of them all. Not all of them, obviously, but a good portion. I personally ignore them due to this fact. And because it is where fanboys and fan girls go rampant.

[aj2070]

I trust fans over the "professionals". Fans don't get pre-release software and special access.

Sometimes fans have more extreme opinions to me, so I avoid them like the plague. Well... the one's that say 'THIS IS THE WORST GAME EVER!', when actually the 'professional' score is about 93. That tends to ring alarm bells.

[ContableEnorme]

I had mixed feelings to the old ending (really was only 1 with some color), I LOVE the Extended Cut endings.

[Mr. MannlyMan]

Still a disappointing ending, but far more comprehensive than the original.

Without the EC, I would give ME3 a score of about 7.5/10. WITH the EC, I'd give it an obligatory 8/10.

[AlienSpaceBats]

That's what I was planning on doing.

[ZombifiedJake]

Still a 6/10 for me.

Well said. The Force in star wars is obvious space magic. But if you rename it to biotics and change midochlorians to element zero, it's no longer space magic for some reason. ME has always had space magic. I don't know where the sudden outrage over it came from.

Seriously? I mean really? You honestly think Element Zero is the only case of space magic? What about Shepard's resurrection in ME2? . . . BUT, at least those two have some psuedo-scientific mumbo jumbo to sustain the suspension of disbelief, but the entirety of the synthesis ending comes straight out of left field with enough space magic to compensate for the last two game's relative lack thereof. On top of that even control and destroy contain their own ludicrous amounts of space magic.

Don't understand the last guy for PC.

"The
Extended Cut left me very satisfied. From filling the majority of the
plot wholes left by the original endings, to providing a sense of closure
for the characters, to going a little more into detail what happens
afterwards, the Extended Cut fixes many of the problems of the original,
while remaining roughly the same series of events."

And he gave it a 0/10.

Metacritic?

Meh...
